weather's gettin' better

it seems like my mood has gotten a lot better lately...i have not felt this content and pleased in a long time...such a relieving feeling! art seems to be looking up for me lately too. winning that $500 scholarship last weekend was a real boost, and nowwww......

AHH! guess what! i applied for an art studio internship this summer at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, and today they sent me an email saying they want to schedule an interview with me next week!!!!! AHHH i am so glad! i would really love to work there, even if it is unpaid. i love working with children and seeing their minds grow, especially through doing artwork.

i am still waiting on the American Greetings Internship in Cleveland. the application due date for that one is tomorrow, so if i hear from them at all, it would be within a couple weeks....yikes. part of me thinks i am very deserving for that internship, but part of me feels it is extremely competitive and that they may pick someone with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator experience, which i have yet to learn. hopefully digital illustration in the fall will help me with that.

oh! speaking of, i registered for my classes for next semester:

MONDAY

Figure Illustration 8:30-11:20

Digital Illustration 1:30-4:20

TUESDAY

Intermediate Illustration 3 9:15-12:05

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

i love that art history is right after psychology, and in the next room over too! i am taking six courses this semester because i am a psychology minor, and an extra class was needed. i am kind of relieved that i am not taking any ceramics (or "messy" classes as we like to call them)...this is the only semester where i need to take three studio classes that are all illustration. i sitll need to take an extra three studio classes that do not have to do with my major...i am thinking maybe intro to photo, relief printing (which is linoleum and wood cuts, which i would love to do), and the other is still up in the air...maybe clay sculpture so i can do plaster molds? that would have to be senior year though....still thinking about it.

it's just so strange to think that there are only 20 CLASSES left of my college career. it's insane that im literally almost halfway done with college ::gulp::

well i am off to art history in a little, where i will most likely fall asleep...i almost always do.

tomorrow is the field trip! i hope i get to take a lot of pictures!
